Could you share an hour a week with Francis?

Francis lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Francis, who's 73. Francis lives alone in Iloilo City, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Francis loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
